AT&T Chooses Ubuntu Linux Instead of Microsoft Windows (betanews.com)

Posted by samzenpus on from the choosing-a-partner dept.

An anonymous reader writes: one of the largest cellular providers is the venerable AT&T. While it sells many Linux-powered Android devices, it is now embracing the open source kernel in a new way. You see, the company has partnered with Canonical to utilize Ubuntu for cloud, network, and enterprise applications. That's right, AT&T did not choose Microsoft's Windows when exploring options. Canonical will provide continued engineering support too.

    No it doesn't it shows his experiences of trying to get it to do what he wants. People don't just make this stuff up and dismissing them as stupid does Linux no favours. I've given up on it because I'd rather spend my free time doing something fun, rather than fighting with wpa-supplicant for the 1000th time.
